Oded Kattash revealed that Maccabi Tel Aviv was close to signing Killian Hayes, but the move did not materialize despite the club accepting his terms. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv, Kattash stressed the need for backcourt reinforcement, with Iffe Lundberg’s injury adding to the team’s difficulties. “We were very close to Killian Hayes. We agreed to all his conditions, but it didn’t happen. We really wanted him,” Kattash said, per Sport5. “I hope we can bring someone in quickly. We need it. At this stage, we’re looking at guards on the market.”

KΞRL_: Tyrese Haliburton says getting passed on by the Pistons felt the most personal Taylor Rooks: “Of the teams that passed on you, was there one that felt the most personal?” Tyrese Haliburton: “For sure, Detroit. For sure, Detroit.” “Because I mean, there were a lot of teams I wanted to go to. I liked Golden State a lot,that was like a dream. But I knew they probably wouldn't pick me at two.” “The Bulls, I thought, would have been cool. The Knicks. The Pistons. But with the Pistons, I knew they needed a point guard.” “In that moment, I already felt like I was the best point guard in the draft. LaMelo was touted as the number one guy, so he got drafted. And now I’m like, ‘Okay, it’s got to be me.’” “On ESPN, the top available were Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and LaMelo Ball. After that, I’m the number one best available.” “I told the Hawks and Cavs, ‘Please God, don’t draft me,’ because they already had Trae and Darius.” “So with the Pistons, I’m like, ‘You need a point guard, it’s got to be me.’ Then I look at my agent behind the camera and he gives me the look. Then it flashes up Killian Hayes, and I’m like, ‘What?!’” “In that moment, I was just angry. Like, what do you mean they need a point guard and they’re not picking me?”
